THE ALBUQUERQUE ISOTOPES SCORED THREE RUNS ON A BASES-LOADED WALK AND THERE IS VIDEO

they literally already admitted in court that he was targeted due to a clerical error. every allegation of an actual crime has been made entirely in the media.

Thank you to Rick Rizzs on the Mariners broadcast for explicitly celebrating Jackie as a civil rights hero as well as a baseball hero.

The "Jackie Robinson Day background" section of MLB's official press release about Jackie Robinson just notes that he was a first baseman for the Brooklyn Dodgers who debuted in 1947. Nothing about the how, the why.

We need more timeline visualizations like this for a lot of news stories.

poasting something stupid to offset the bad

So apparently 4chan got hacked by a rival imageboard who proceeded to crash the site, dox the mods and jannies, and nuke the servers. All because they were running PHP code that reached EoL in 2016.

John Carmack invented doom-scrolling in 1993 but back then it was called mouse-glide.

What we all just witnessed had all the earmarks of a criminal conspiracy to deprive Abrego-Garcia of his constitutional rights, as well as an impeachable offense. The fraud scheme was a phony agreement engineered by the US to have Bukele say he lacks power to return Abrego Garcia and he won't do it.

Ken Griffey Jr (yes, that Ken Griffey Jr) took some incredible photos during the Masters that are available in Getty

Mary is convalescing after her surgery and recovering so well. She takes her antibiotics like a good girl and hasn’t stopped being a fashion icon.

its honestly mind numbing to watch this government declare open war on the concept of habeas corpus

One thing from this article that should set off some alarms is that there are companies that think *the government* will go after them for sponsoring pride events. Interesting

Florida’s “Social Media Use by Minors” bill is an ill-advised attempt to backdoor end-to-end encryption that asks the impossible. It should not be allowed to move forward.

aside: a stunning comment from David Baker, UW professor who won the Nobel Prize in 2024. Now 15 lab members are looking for positions overseas. “There’s so many amazing people who want to come in, & we can’t take them. The Nobel Prize was just a little blip. But things have gotten quite bleak.”

Since it is topical, A1 sauce and ketchup makes a good fry dip. About 1:2 is my preferred ratio.

Telling local politicians about trans health, calling it the UK trans healthcare crisis & being met with questions about my hair was the most "woman in politics" moment ive ever had

Seven women's ice hockey teams have written an open letter questioning the ban on trans women in Ice Hockey in England and Scotland.

it feels cringe to put my name on the copyright line for MIT licensed code, but since I want people to use it, I will for some reason companies don't love WTFPL licensed code

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

1. Major ruling: A federal court has ruled, for now, that Trump cannot take away school lunch money from hungry kids over trans students. This is Gov. Janet Mills first victory after telling Trump she would "see you in court." The latest from Mira Lazine. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Watched Flow with the kids, and they had a more immediate, visceral reaction to this wordless Latvian animated movie than to anything they’ve watched recently.

I love how watching one (1) kaiju movie on Tubi made my Recommended lineup erupt in a massive wave of kaiju movies and general joy.

it’s funny how the letters “A I” just immediately derange people into a moral rage now. realizing that i live in a shattered epistemic landscape. there is no alphafold, there is no monte carlo sim, there is only Chat Bot Bad, and we must all suffer for it
